Kyowa Racing Rims
so im still debating my new rims ... i had sth in mind but cant seem to find em in the right spec so this is my second choice what do youll think and if the
18 x 8 +29 would look pretty close to flush? or would 18x9 same offset be better

http://www.kxwheels.com/wheel.php?wid=1615 or if anyone wants to make any suggestions to help me out ... i will be sticking with black rims ...

18x8 +29 will not equal flush.


+29, +30 and +31 are good offsets for 18x9" wheels.


highly suggest jumpin' on that deal Auto RND has up. I saw you pm'd him already Save up the cash, get quality bro.

Yeah what Atilla said: 18x9 +29 with some 245 or 255 tires look very flush. Check out the 3rd page of the Calling all advan thread and check out the Advan RS fitmets in 18x9 +29

what if i went 18x9.5 with 225 or 235 (would it look ok) reason i ask is i have 2 almost new sets of tires one 225 and one 235 both 40r18 ... heres my NEW dilemma if i cant fit the 225's or 235's on the rotas i want then i might as well go with the deedub setup since i would have to get new tires anyway ... this is soo painstaking

yeah but you gotta have enough power to back up those 275's or else it will be poser status.

225's on a 9.5 equal death trap, I had 225/30 on an 8.5 for a while and it left the wheel way unprotected and rode like crap too. I know some folks dig that look, but in my opinion I think it looks just as awesome when you have a nice amount of sidewall sitting flush with the lip etc. I'd sell those 225's and get something a little meatier

yeah stay around 245... simply sell the 225's then your back to square one and you can find whatever rim/tire combo you want
